Classic anime-inspired narrative driven game Nostalgic Joe has managed to hit its Kickstarter goal.

Kamotachi, the creator of Kinniku Neko: Super Muscle Cat is now developing a VHS bootleg infused nostalgia trip.

Inspired by games like To The Moon, Earthbound, Night in the Woods and anime like FLCL, Golden Boy and Neon Genesis Evangelion, Kamatochi aims to tell a story about sadness, hope and hundreds of nostalgic winks.

Here’s some more info from their Kickstarter page as well as a trailer:

A narrative-driven, atmospheric game with retro VHS visuals and touches of classic anime, where the player explores, talks, solves light puzzles, and dives into a heartfelt story.

• Classic point & click mechanics, but designed for free movement control.
• Light action and puzzle mini-games.
• Intimate story with dialogue, exploration and side quests with stories that touch the heart.
• Carefully crafted music and atmosphere.

This is not a game for everyone.
It’s an adult-themed experience meant for those who enjoy reading, exploring, and getting emotionally invested in stories.

There are also parts of the game that can be a bit scary.

Joe Thompson Ravenwood is a 40-year-old man going through a difficult time. After a recent divorce, he moves to Echo’s Cliffside, a quiet town far from the chaos of his old life. Everything changes one rainy night when he meets a strange glowing creature who claims to be a fairy—one that feeds on something called “Heartboud Essence”: the invisible warmth carried by objects that once meant something to someone.

Along the way, Joe will cross paths with other unique characters:

• Jiro Matsuda, a japanese grumpy retired animation director.
• Maya Matsuda, his kind but distant daughter.
• Elliot, the neighbors’ strange son.
• Captain Hardog, an aggressive street stray dog.
